Action! Cartooning

Action! Cartooning by Ben Caldwell

Written and illustrated by a former Marvel Comics' artist with brilliant hand-done images throughout, this graphic handbook of cartooning is without equal.

You'll find everything you need to create and draw your own characters, from cartooning faces to understanding anatomy to creating mood and personality!

In elaborate detail, it focuses on superheros and their atmospheric world filled with speed and movement. Every aspect of creating cartoons is taught: the supplies, developing mood, and the techniques that endow characters with personality.

See how to draw a variety of faces (female, heroic, cute, gaunt), and give the appearance of age. From the skeleton to the torso, to the arms, hands, and legs, follow every stroke that goes into producing bodies of all shapes and sizes.

Finally, there's instruction on sending those figures into running, jumping, kicking action in a fully realized scene.

With advice so thorough, any amateur can become a pro!
